PKSC 1020 TEST 2 WITH CORRECT
SOLUTIONS
Lightweight packages are typically dropped from a greater or lesser height than heavy
packages. - ANSWER-Greater
During vibration, objects are most likely to break or become damaged during what part
of the vibration spectrum? - ANSWER-Amplification
Things that can decrease compression strength of boxes when stacked on a pallet are:
- ANSWER-All of the answers, except none (overhang and bulging, extended
warehousing and interlocked stacking, overhang and humidity)
The three types of testing one performs for the Packaging Industry are: - ANSWER-
Quality, Environmental, and Distribution
What is the purpose of using cushions with packaged products? - ANSWER-To absorb
the shock impulse
The purposes of performing simulated tests are: - ANSWER-Uniformity and shorter
testing time
The lower the g force, the more sturdy the item. - ANSWER-False
A box containing 60b lbs has 10 identical boxes stacked in a column stack. The box will
have freezer storage, column stack, and no overhang. For what stacking strength
should you design the bottom box? Show your work on your scrap paper and turn it in
after the test. Do not include any units in your answer, just submit a number. -
ANSWER-SF = 5.5, stacking strength = 2970 lbs
The main difference that is seen between dynamic and static compression is: -
ANSWER-Dynamic compression measures greater compressive forces in a stack even
if the loads are the same.
Why would you use a constant volume filler for transparent packages? - ANSWER-You
don't use a constant volume filler for transparent packages
Piston fillers are used to fill products that are: - ANSWER-thick and pasty
Packaging machinery includes: - ANSWER-machines that use packages but do not
make packages
